Subject: Cold beverage

hanks so much for your saggy top insight. I found it most refreshing. I
though my frame was narrow, at the same time I did not think that was
possible. I'll put a new top on at the time I widen the frame. To bend
the
bars is a GREAT idea. I may remove the old top then try to heat and bend
the
bar without disconnecting it.
Now this is how the amphicar-lovers@yahoogroups.com should work. Let me
tip
my hat to you for your effort.

Does this mean I get the cold beverage of my choice at Celina? (smiling
too) . As For Mt Dora it is great. And as Gord goes ,He is one of those
people that just make you smile the first moment you meet him. I
promised Margie I would not go there with out her. But what if I just
happened to be on high way hitch hiking to ,lets say the store for milk,
and Gord just happened to pick me up? Hmmm. Later Dave the Wave

Subject: dont have one yet

I'm new to the group so I thought I would introduce myself.  
I dont have one yet (wife and three little kids and too many toys already) , but I wanted one since I first saw one as a kid..  Saw something about it on TV one night and my interest was rekindled.  Thought I'd try the internet and see what info/newsgroups were out there.  I'll keep working on my wife--and my bank account-- but will get one one day.  Until then, I'll be reading and watching.  One comment--after reading the great FAQ on the group website, what will happen when the last transmission dies and there are no more parts?

Ralph,

    My wife and I are planning to attend the Antique and Classic Boat show
in Hartwell GA the weekend of April 1.  We are going to bring our Amphi up
from Charleston.  Also Lynn and Tommy from Tampa are planning to attend.
(see below).  Do you have an Amphi or know other owners in the Atlanta area
that might want to attend?
    Thanks Bill for posting lodging information at

http://www.amphicar.com/calendar.htm

I also have two phone numbers from the local organizers.  Send me an email
off-list if you want them.

Arnold and Sharon Hite

 Lynne & I think this sounds like a blast. So you can count on the
four of us. Some hotel info would be great. Tommy, Lynne, Snappy
White - 64 and Corky red - 67

It's not a problem, everything on the Amphicar can be made, including all
parts of the transmission, it's just a question of economics. These days
most people repair transmissions while just 10 years ago they were replaced
and in some cases the old ones were thrown away. As Amphicars increase in
value (and worldwide it tends to be inflation plus a bit each year) then
making parts becomes more economical.

If you buy a new car today then because of the electronics and technology in
it you know it will have a finite life - typically less than 20 years -
whereas Amphicar can go on forever and the engine is simple enough to be
adapted to run on alternative fuels in the future.

The biggest threat to the Amphicar is political/legal/environmental. Powered
cars and boats are increasingly being restricted around the world, it's more
of  a problem here in Europe where the anti-car culture is very strong but
it could happen there.

Subject: Celina Campgrounds.

I seemed to have misplaced the names & numbers of the Celina campgrounds. 
Could you publish it again?
I'm having a trailer built to tow behind my RV,
so I need a place to stay.
Last year I think I stayed at a place called Cozy????.
